This line will be capable of running various grades flat roll products in gauges from .015/.187. Equipped with a duplex tension stand for processing dry & surface critical material, inline gamma technology, and a triple head, this piece of equipment will significantly increase Target Steel’s processing capabilities.

This slitting line will allow Target Steel to provide even quicker lead times for slit customers. Also, this will allow for less outside processing of Target customer material, making for better quality control over all finished products.

This expansion will add double our current processing facility in Flat Rock, by adding an additional 32,000 Square Feet.

The addition is being constructed off of the back of our existing operation. This space will make way for the brand new 72” Braner Loopco slitter that will be delivered in 2012. The new slitter will allow for exposed slitting capability in gauges from .015” to .250”.

This piece of equipment will put Target Steel in the ranks of some of the most competitive steel service centers in the Detroit area, and is expected to be operational in Q2 2012.
